Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf b = 8.7 \ cm}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation:
[tex]\displaystyle tan (30 \textdegree) = \frac{5}{b}[/tex]
We have to find b.
tan 30° = 0.6
[tex]\displaystyle 0.6 = \frac{5}{b} \\\\Multiply \ b \ to \ both \ sides \\\\0.6 \times b = 5 \\\\Divide \ 0.6 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\b = \frac{5}{0.6} \\\\b = 8.7 \ cm \\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]
